(c) Identify and record the implications for non-reporting

Learning Outcome 3 – Seek opportunities to improve resource efficiency
(The layout should be a standard report format with headings, sub-headings, and bullets where suitable.)

From the information you have determined in the earlier questions prepare a report (that is two pages long) in Microsoft word of basic sustainability policies and procedures that a new employee should be aware of in this office.
